Ben Stevenson has started instead of Rubén Lameiras.

Has he dropped to the bench? Injured? Or off on loan somewhere?

Could be the latter if he really impressed in the warm-up.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I'm not sure to be honest.

Aaron Phillips just hit the bar with a header from a George Thomas cross

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Half time: 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday. Our goalkeeper (first year academy player, not sure where Burge is) fumbled the ball and gave the Wednesday striker an easy finish.

Lameires on at HT for finch, good to see its not an injury.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Wednesday missed a pen 5 mins ago now City have equalised. Great skill from Lameiras finds Thomas and he finishes cooly.

1-1

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Kyle Spence hits the crossbar.

83rd minute. Still 1-1

 

[Otis]

How's Spence looking?

Anyone else standing out?

It was at Hillsborough. I only attend games at the Ricoh/AHC when I can so I'm not sure.

Full time: 1-1. George Thomas got our goal. Probably a fair result considering they missed a penalty and we hit the bar twice.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The U21s face Sheffield United at the AHC tomorrow, 1pm kick off. This is going to be a difficult game as I think Sheffield United are unbeaten in the last 13 games at U21 level.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Coventry City U21s: Addai (GK), Phillips, Ford, Harries, Di. Kelly-Evans, Finch, Stevenson, Dev. Kelly-Evans, Spence, Trialist, G. Thomas.

I think the trialist is Otshudy.

Wasn't he named at one point last game?

Yep, but that was only when he did something Otshitty.

 

[stevefloyd]

Hows it looking ??? anybody watching to report for us?

 

[Otis]

Errm .... would say not.

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

0-2 at half time

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

1-2 Stevenson

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The U21s lost 2-1 to Sheffield United. Ben Stevenson scored our goal and was probably our best player alongside Devon Kelly Evans. Otshudy didn't do much of note, so I can't pass any judgement on him.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The U21s next game is away at Birmingham on Monday. I'm not sure how the squad will be managed as the first team and U18s both have Sat\Tues\Sat games so it leaves very few players available

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Under 18's losing 7-0 to Huddersfield!

 

[Otis]

Maybe we borrowed Bury's youngsters?

U21s against Birmingham today. As I predicted in the U18 thread, Sambou and Leahy didn't play for the U18s because of the tight schedule.

Looks like Aaron Martin still won't be available for a few more games as he recovers fully from injury.

No Ben Stevenson though. Perhaps this means he will be travelling with the first team tomorrow or perhaps going out on loan somewhere. In my opinion he's definitely good enough to be around the first team, wait and see I guess.

Oh and the trialist (#15) is a young forward who plays/used to play for Stoke City U18s.

Half time 0-0.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Blues just gone 1-0 up, 78th min.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Jack Finch 1-1

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

2-1 down, 88th minute

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Full time: 2-1 defeat. Jack Finch scored our goal.

 

[chiefdave]

Couple of them on twitter seem to be itching for a go in the first team. Any of them ready and worth a run out?

Which players are you talking about?

I'd say Ben Stevenson is ready. He ran the show against Sheffield United last week with Mowbray watching on. He wasn't included in the U21 team today so maybe he'll be on the bench tomorrow night or Mowbray's decided a loan could be beneficial to him with a view of looking to get him ready for first team football next season.

Official CCFC report.

Martin played the whole game. Very commanding according to the offal.

 

[chiefdave]

Which players are you talking about?

Sambou posted about young players getting a chance against a big team like Arsenal, obviously referring to Rashford.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yes, seen that too. Bas is a very clinical striker as shown at the Arsenal game where had one chance and scored. Don't think he can be asking/implying why he isn't getting a chance in the first team yet though as he isn't even a professional yet.

I'd be a bit pissed too though if Fortune is stopping me getting on the bench.

 

[steve82]

Bas did look useful against Northampton when he came on. Clearly a talent, maybe this season is too soon unless we have a injury crisis up front but I'd like to see him ahead of fortune on the bench.
